A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Pelco DX4800, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Pelco DX4800 one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Pelco DX4800. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Pelco DX4800 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Pelco DX4800
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Pelco DX4800 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Pelco DX4800 item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Pelco DX4800 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Pelco DX4800, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Pelco service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Pelco DX4800.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Pelco DX4800 item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    Pelco DX47/4800 hybrid video recorders were designed for customers who want to begin a step-by-step migrati on to megapixel video while still gaining maximum value from their existing analog video surveillance infrastructure. This is made possible with the introduction of the new DX4700 and DX4800 hybrid video recorders – the latest in the Pelco [...]

    Since the DVR/HVR market is fast evolvi ng, the use case for DX47/4800 is very important to understand. As we stated earlier – the target market is customers who want to leverage the cost advantages of analog, whether for new of ex isting installs. Customers who want the benefits of the r educed cost of analog cameras, and for who analog cabling [...]

    While we don’t want to dwell on speeds and feed, there ar e some performance factors we want to make sure you understand: Let’ s just touch a bit on analog to make sure we’re all on the same page. 8 or 16 channel model PTZ support, Pelco C, P , D 14[...]

    Let’ s touch the IP side. No doubt there are plenty of hy brid on the market. T oday most of those systems do either or both of two things: 1) they support 8 or 16 SD cameras 2) they reduce the number of analog cameras by the number of IP cameras supported. In the future we can look forward to additional HD camera support - today we support a sub[...]

    The performance for DX47/4800 is well-suit ed for customers with limited bandwidth. Our bandwidth throttle is lower than t he DX8100 capabilities and goes down as low as 32 Kbps.

    And just another reminder – it is the DX4800 that gives us 480/400 IPS at 4CIF , with the DX4700 performance in line with what we’ve provided with DX4600 and DX8100. Like the DX8100 there is one A/D chip to support a group of 4 cameras, and this provides 120 IPS for a group of 4. The UI limits that se lection, only in the DX4700 – it’ s not[...]

    Let’ s have a look at c lient capability for DX4700/4800. The DX Series Client is what we previous ly referred to as the DX Common Client. There is a matrix of capabilities with this client – it performs a bit differently dependent on which head end, and so we’ve creat ed a compatibility matrix that is part of the client manual. For easy acce[...]

    Not completely new , but as a reminder , bec ause we are often asked the client to server parameters are much the same as with the rest of the DX platform: •One server can support five simultaneous remote connections •Any DX client can view as m any as 100 DX47/4800s in their tree •And the DX Series client can simultaneously view as m any as [...]

    On the storage side: 1)DX4700/4800 both have 4 drive bays – that provides for 8 TB today and soon we’ll support 12 TB total when we finish test ing 3 TB drives. Many vendors in the hybrid class only of fer 2 to 4 TB of storage. W e have an edge there. 2)We know you have been concerned about t he pricing per TB for HDD. W e have compared DX4700/[...]

    Let’ s have a look at Dif ferentiating Feat ures from the rest of our DX line: 1)HDD Partitioning has created some discussi on over the years.

    V ersion 2, which currently looks to be a Q4 release will provide support for eSA T A drives for recording as well as backup/ex port. And it will gain the ability to view megapixel cameras at the server in an 1080P display . Because them motherboard will change due the back panel and the chip set, this will require a hardware upgrade. Our goal in t[...]

    We will see something dif ferent on DX4700/4800 in the way of APIs There will not be a “native” API for DX4700/4800 – t here will instead be a Pelco API, based on Endura APIs. This is intended to of fer us two things: 1) Endura-enabled capabilities so that an Endur a viewing station can view video from these devices and 2) so that our in tegr[...]

    We’re sure you’ll have a good sense of who to call for the DX4700/4800.
